What do you do with the rest of the avacado?

Hello, This may be a silly question but I know he won't eat a whole avacado each time I offer it and I was wondering what is the best thing to do with it as they turn brown so quickly. I love avacados but I don't think I can eat one a day either! Do you put them in lemon water and cover in the fridge?

I cover mine with Saran wrap so it's touching all of the fleshy bits and refrigerate. Usually it's a half with the pit, so this has kept it from browning too much. But even if it does turn brown, you can just slice off the dry brown bit and use the rest underneath.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Make sure the Saran wrap is touching all the green part of the avacado and keep the pit it. I sometimes even throw it in a Tupperware container after using the wrap.

lol! i love avocado! and would be happy to eat one a day! i always tell my husband that when we buy our own home, all i want is an avocado tree!

anyway! since im such a fan of the avocado i've discovered that if you use the saran wrap technique but instead use a soaking wet paper towel and put it in plastic baggie this will keep the avocado nice and green for 2 to 3 days (as long as teh towel remains wet)

I don't like avocado . . . so I tend to use it for a facial if I have too much left in the fridge
